Q: It seems that the script is sometimes an after-thought on huge
productions.

A: ‘Yes and you swear that you’ll never get involved with shit
like that, and it happens. On “Quantum”, we were fucked. We had
the bare bones of a script and then there was a writers’ strike
and there was nothing we could do. We couldn’t employ a writer
to finish it. I say to myself, “Never again”, but who knows?
There was me trying to rewrite scenes — and a writer I am
not.’
